Projector Update

Jase

Projector should be in Dorset next week - either I will be down to see my mum or they will be coming up for the weekend - depends what the doctor says tomorrow at the Chemo Clinic :-(

I have just tested it and as I thought one of the colours is not working, the picture is ok but colour is not great - you need to run a resolution of 1024 x 768

The projector is a Compaq MP1600 - just checked on Ebay, there are two projectors on there, one for spares and new bulbs but these are £165 or £399...

Can't find the 35mile vga cable though...

You could see if you can get a digital USB TV tuner for your laptop, then you could see if you can pick up any local channels

Is it just the PC you want to hook up or the Sat decoder? If its the decode I will need to try to find the adapter...

When you turn the unit off, you must let it go into standby before pulling the plug otherwise you will totally kill the bulb

I will let you know when it is only 20 miles away unless I can get gyp to collect it or if I am down, then I will come to the fair ground to see all of the projects at LDV World!!!

    well if the RGB colours dont match the TCPIP stack then your fooked...

    I'm just waiting for the abusive phone call...

    If I find the adapter you will be able to connect computer and satelilte...but dont you need a dish for the sat to work!! ha ha

    By the time you have had some beer, wine, vodka and wacky stuff you wont notice that a colour has gone... Nothing I can do, it has been like it since I got it 4 years ago.

    Is that plain english enough for you!!
